What is a solar PPA?

We were one of the first providers in Australia to offer a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Solar PPA is a long term contract to purchase electricity generated by a solar panel system installed at your premises.

Features and benefits include:

Monthly payments per unit electricity delivered

Solar PPA electricity reduces your grid electricity purchases

Solar PPA electricity is charged at agreed prices for the duration of the contract

Flexible lease terms between 10 –20 years with extension and early buyout options

We maintain and manage the system throughout the solar PPA term

Provides future certainty over electricity expenditure

What is a Solar Operating Lease?

A Solar Operating Lease is a contract to pay a fixed monthly amount for consuming electricity generated by a solar power system on your premises. Some of the benefits include:

Fixed monthly payment for all electricity delivered

A solar lease reduces your organisation’s dependence on electricity from the grid

System generation guarantee

Flexible lease terms between 7 –15 years

We maintain and manage the system throughout the lease term

Provides future certainty over electricity costs

Which is best – a solar lease or PPA?

The major differences between a solar lease and power purchase agreement are the duration of the arrangements and pricing model. With a PPA, you make monthly payments per unit of electricity delivered. With a lease, the payments are predetermined; regardless of how much electricity is consumed.

While both a PPA and a solar lease arrangement involve zero capital outlay; there are a number of factors needing to be considered with either option to gauge the best solution for your company or organisation. Our friendly experts can advise you on whether a PPA or a lease would be the better option for your circumstances.
